Charter Hill Society for the Arts & Humanities

We are excited to launch the Charter Hill Society for the Arts & Humanities, a community of committed donors who make a three-year pledge of $1,000 or more per year within the division of Arts & Humanities. Young alums are invited to join with pledges of $250 per year for alums who graduated in the last one to four years and $500 for alums who graduated in the last five to nine years.

Multi-year pledges create an ecosystem where faculty and students can thrive. They bring continuity to our departments and programs and foster a sustained impact on the day-to-day experience. Your gifts to Arts & Humanities help our faculty members focus on teaching instead of worrying about basic needs, or support their access to hands-on archival research. Your generosity enables first-gen and low-income students to experience study abroad or an internship. 

Make your gift online or by mail... or contact us for other giving options.

Consider a monthly recurring gift of $100 to any department or fund within Arts & Humanities. 

UC Berkeley’s campuswide Charter Hill Society already honors donors’ commitment to preserving and enhancing Berkeley’s excellence in education, research, and public service. Our Charter Hill Society for the Arts & Humanities takes that recognition a step further by offering members access to special events and gatherings that showcase the best of the division. 

In addition to on-campus events, we will be bringing Charter Hill Society events to our members with regional meet-ups and online talks.
